About This Service
If you are looking for a text in true French, then I am the person to ask as I am a native French speaker living in the UK while keeping myself updated with French trends etc. I have a fluent knowledge of English as well (I have a Master equivalence in English), so I will handle the work you give me with great care and accuracy.
What You Can Expect
I have translated a variety of documents: correspondence, real estate description (houses), holiday accommodation pamphlets, games instructions, general medical texts, websites, tourism texts on an area, wills - last wishes (not legal), dictionaries (using also html for online dictionaries). I have also corrected texts produced from MT. I use SDL Trados for faster work myself but I always check and edit the work before submitting it.I can access most Microsoft packages, I can type at a speed of 50 wpm in English.
Business Hours
I am available online everyday between 9.00 and 22.00 GMT (or BST between March and September). I usually am able to respond to emails etc almost all day.
